For the past several months I've been making quilts to be gifted to granddaughter Joanna when she's older. Three have been pieced and sent to the long arm quilter. There is actually a 4th quilt I would like to make for her 'someday' but not this year. Quadrangle used a lot of the fabrics left from the first two quilt but there are still scraps not used.
While at Calico Point a year ago, I noticed one of the young clerks was sewing HST's. I wandered over to where she was sewing and asked to see the pattern, it was Petite Antique Lace. I had seen this pattern hanging with the patterns before and was intrigued with it. I purchased the pattern but I knew it was definitely NOT going to be one of the quilts I pieced in 2025.
The clerk's quilt is finished and on display at Calico Point.
Isn't it beautiful? The border fabric is the same fabric I used on Teal Stars.I have no intention of making this quilt larger, there are so many HST's! Piecing all the HST's with Thangles will be a great mindless project to work on at future retreats.
Update - A comment was made that they made this quilt several years ago when it was a free pattern from MSQC, it's not free anymore.

There about a million HST's to be made. I'll use Thangles and sew them at retreat. Slowly the quilt will come together but it won't be a fast & speedy quilt. Thanks for commenting!
Gosh that's a pretty quilt. I just put the pattern in my wishlist. How big are the HSTs? I've not heard of "Thangles", but they look like a good investment. Do you have more than one size?
So pretty! and lots of hst's! :)
That's an adorable little block & yes it will be tome consuming lol but so worth the outcome
Great mindless project if you're using Thangles. You could organize it now, and just sew a few as leader/enders while making other projects. This will be so pretty! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Yikes! Lol. Very nice tho'.
Teal is always so pretty in any quilt
What a beautiful quilt! xx
Lovely. I made this quilt a few years back but it was a free design from MSQ call Vintage Lace or Antique Lace, something like that. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
My goodness, those are tiny pieces... the pattern is fantastic, but you really have to want it.
Maybe I'll get around to smaller patterns sometime – my third quilt is made from 5-inch pieces :-))
I'm currently binding it and I'm happy.
Best wishes to you from Viola
So beautiful!
Beautiful someday quilt!!!
It's not a free pattern anymore but she's very pretty.
It's a beauty and all those HSTs! . . Definitely, a someday project!
What a pretty quilt, Gretchen! Is it ENTIRELY made from HSTs or are there rectangles of white as well?
There are some white squares and rectangles in there to. Piecing all the HST's will be challenging enough, putting those blocks together will be another challenge!
Oh that is a beautiful pattern for scrappy goodness! Great place for mindless chain sewing.
This will be a great retreat project! The teal version just sings! Gail at the cozy quilter
Wow, I really thought it was yours, it's just your colors ;) This pattern is beautiful, the perfect project for a retreat indeed!
Thank you for sharing this beauty, and linking up.
What a beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing it.
